Small-town carshow - Chikuma, Nagano #RandomJapan

The cat's old man took me here the last time I was in Nagano because   I like cars. It was good to see a gathering like this in small-town Nagano, The only sad thing is that most of the rides weren't actually local.

Yoyogi park weekdays, fishing in Nagano and more...#7Days7Minutes (2016-05-16)

A slightly more abstract video than the last, and a bit rushed on the cuts, but I need to make a point of pushing through the backlog, so quality may suffer.

Otherwise, I don't get on camera this week either. For which, you're probably better off.

The Last Cherry Blossoms of 2014

On the last trip to Nagano, we managed to catch the end of the Cherry Blossom season there. It's probably the last chance for the pink flowers this year. For those of you who don't like all the flowers, rest easy. This is it till next year's spring madness returns.

A wild NSX appears!

Spotted this clean Honda NSX parked outside a Hot Spring Hotel in Chikuma, Nagano.

I'm in Nagano again... And the cherry blossoms are still in bloom.

View from the Kitty park in Chikuma, Nagano earlier today.
For all it's skyscrapers, trains, money and sheeple, Tokyo has nothing that can compare to this.

It's Not Sushi - Tachibana Tsukemen (Chikuma, Nagano) (麺屋たち花 - 長野県千曲市)

In Chikuma City, Nagano Prefecture, That cat's dad and little bro introduced me to an amazing tsukemen (dipping noodles) restaurant around the corner from Togura Station.


麺屋たち花
LOCATION

Shots#112 Spring Peach Blossom Festival in Nagano.

While the Sakura had come and were starting to go in Tokyo, further north, in Chikuma City, Nagano, The apricot blossoms had just started to bloom. The city is known for it's apricots and as a result Spring is heralded in by the apricot, rather than the Cherry blossom (which comes a bit later). There is also a small event at a local shrine to commemorate the blooming of the apricot trees and the coming of spring... But the weather decided that spring can wait. It must be said though, that these ladies deserve som emad props for continuing to dance even as biting cold winds stirred a blizzard around them.
